The Sony SmartDock docking station was a device introduced for the Xperia Ion at CES earlier this year however Sony have decided to re-do the device and make it compatible with the newly announced (at MWC) Sony Xperia P.

The SmartDock for Xperia P can be connected to a TV via HDMI and one of the cooler features is that you are able to control the phone by using a TV remote (as long as the TV is HDMI-CEC compatible).

Alongside the HDMI port are two USB ports will allow you to connect a keyboard and mouse giving you a very unusual mobile phone experience.

If you were hoping for an Xperia S version then sadly it doesn’t look like this will become available as the ports on the device itself are are opposite ends making it very difficult to create a docking station that performs the same tasks as the Xperia P one does.
